I dont like flash bars and pubs. I like committed boozers where you might get away with falling over or being a bit cheeky. This is my favourite pub in Brighton called the Heart and Hand. The juke box is full of some superb 45s inc The Who's Mary Anne with the Shaky Hands, Love's a House is not a Motel and Buffalo Springfield's I am a Child. The ales not bad and the bar staff are usually very nice.

Often I see people sitting on the beach alone, staring at the horizon in silence. Its expanse has a calming affect. It’s a place where life becomes simplified into clouds, waves, the odd seagull and sailboat.

This is Marrocos Restaurant on the seafront towards Hove. It's a well kept secret by most Brightonian's. We dont like to share it as its small and precious. Besides great Pizza and Pasta and also incredible Seafood they make the very best Ice Cream in Brighton. I take my kids after school as the queues are crazy at the weekends. Try the Rum and Raisin....... or the Hazelnut.

Every November the famous Brighton Pavilion develop part of their Gardens into an Ice Rink. Its lit up beautifully of an evening and runs right through until the end of January.

Unlimited is an independent shop and gallery, stocking a range of playful and experimental graphic-flavoured prints, jewellery, homewares, textiles and furniture. They often rotate their exhibitions, which keeps the place feeling fresh and exciting. The shop exterior is worth a mention too, as it features large graphics by top designers like Supermundane and Gary Stranger (pictured).
